Then they whispered Of the painful
search through the day and night, the
tracking of my horse S hoofs upon the
snow, and the story OF the scared
peasant; who all night long had heard
the cry of tortured ghosts issuing
from the earth And the sad story
seized upon my Florian with deadly
fear, and turning back upon the black
moor she tracked the hoof marks un-
til they stopped upon the brink OF the
forgotten shaft. the shaft of the work

Wheal Mercy.

Years morning and family whispered
to you Of my pent-up sorrow, you, IN
your great pity, thinking OF my suffer-
ing in the shaft, poured out all your
maiden heart. And your loving words,
my Florian, were sweeter to me than

So in a month you were my wife,

The Kaiser's Long Reign.
Correspondence Charleston News.

Correspondence Charleston News.
1t was in 1906 that the French army,
under the first Napoleon, took posses
sion of Berlin, not to be finally ousted
until the decisive Waterloo in 1918.
It was at this period that Prussia's
beloved Queen Louise retreated to
Koenigsberg, on the eastern border OF
the realm, with her two sons, who
were atterward to become Frederick
William ~. and the present Kaiser.
No great doubt that his mother instill-
ed into him the debt which she person.
ally owed to the French and Napolean,
and which he was to partially repay
in 1870. 1t was then Oh the first day
Of 1907 that he entered that army
which he has gradually brought to it's
present incompatible perfection.
Then came the accession OF his broth.
er, in 1910, precisely q century later
than that of the great Frederick, bring
ing with it revived hopes which were
not to bereallzed. The king was more
dllettante than soldier or statesman.
The demands for a constitution and
scenes OF 1848 were only surpassed in
madness and violence. William must
spend some years in England in
state of semi-exile. But five years
later he was again in Berlin, now as
Prince Regent, in which capacity he
was to govern the State during the
years Of lingering illness of his childless
brother. In 1861 he became King in
the name as we'll; fought with Den
mark, and added Schleswig and Hol-
stein to the Prussian state; de-
cided the future kalsership by an ap-
peal to arms with Austria; and final
ly brought his perfected army organ
ization against the third Napoleon,
the result OF which was the annexa-
tion Of Alsace-Lorraine and his crown
ing as kaiser OF a once more united
Germany in the old French capital OF
Versailles. The result OF the last
fifteen years had been to develop his
capital from a provincial to metro.
politan city; to increase it's popula-
tion from some 100000 or SOO,O
to 1,5OO,OOO: to give it the second
position on the continent.

Bombarding Ones Own Coast.

The other day, going down the Firth
OF Clyde, the crew of the English guard
ship Ajax was exercised in big-gun
drills, with the view of expending the
quar- terly allowance of ammunition.
About 1920 O'Clock, at which time
the Ajax was directly off 1nnellan,
shot from one of the guns of the YES
sci was seen to strike the water, and
then ricochet with terrific force toward
the shore. It struck the ground i'm
mediately adjoining a villa, entered
the earth about ten yards from the
northeast gable wall. The shot made
a hole in the ground about seven feet
deep, uprooted four large trees, break
ing them in pieces and scattering the
branches and fragments all over the
roof OF the building, as well as over the
adjoining grounds, besides covering the
roof of the house with stones. Every
window in the place was broken, and
great rents were made in the gable
walls, the house,in fact, being rendered
quite uninhabitable The force OF the
projectile even after striking the
ground and doing this considerable
damage, was not yet quite spent, as
the shot was carried about quarter
of a mile up the hill, afterward roll
ing back for some distance. The ad-
joining dwelling also suffered to no lit
tie extent. A plumber who was en-
ployed III the house at the time receiv.
ed injuries about the body which ne.
cessitated confinement to bed, and a
servant girl had her hands cut. The
board school is in the imm ediate vi
cinity of Ashgrove, and at the time OF
the occurrence was filed with children.
A slight deviation OF the shot would
have brought it in contact with this
building. The Ajax people didnot ap.
parently notice the damage that had
been done, because they went On with
their firing, although the other shots
went in q more seaward direction.

4 POLICY or RETALIATION.

I asked TO kiss her at the door,
But my request was quite unheeded,
She gave no sign, although swore
loved her and with ardor pleaded.
AT length dare and stole a kiss,
Which reused the maidens indignation;
She said, u his is an outrage this
I'll meet, sir, with retaliation"
Her swimming eyes she raised to mine,
Her honeyed, ruby lips she pouted.
And kissed me. All, it was divine.
Bliss unalloyed! Who dares to doubt it?
Twas no hand kissing, twas no sham,
But lip to lip in osculation-
Where kisses are concerned I am
In favor OF Retaliation.

CANDIDACY.

When doctors disagree who shall de-
cider is an old and trite saying. And
when the learned pundits of the law, that
science equally abstruse with medicine,
get at loggerheads how is the average
citizen, not a lawyer, to see his way out
of the mist and mire of doubts? Here is
John Ireland retiring governor of Texas,
aspiring candidate for United States sen.
ator, ex-judge of the Texas supreme
court land therefore a jurisprudent OF
some distinction in local way, who
tells the people of Texas that the federal
government has no power or authority to
regulate the railroads in the interest OF
Interstate commerce. On the other
hand the supreme court of the United
States, the highest legal authority in the
land, has declared: "The rates and
charges which railroad makes fer the
transportation of goods from one
state to point in another state,
cannot be controlled, limited, .fred or reg
uEated by the legislature Of the former state,
since such transportation constitutes in
ter-state commerce, tghich is under the
EXCLUSIVE control and regulation Of con-
qreSS" The italics are THE GAZETTE's,
but the words are the supreme courts,
uttered no longer ago than last October,
in the celebrated case of the Wabash Rail-
road against the state of Illinois. Since
the famous bred Scott decision no more
important, far-reaching decision has come
down from the supreme court, no opinion

THERE is considerable probability OF
France adopting the means to fasten a
tax of $50 year on bachelors, the ar
gument used in its favor being that man
who esteems bachelorhood a privilege
should be made to pay for such selfish
indulgence. 1t is doubtful if any man of
thirty will, from his standpoint of COM
parson, prefer matrimony to paying this
tax, but to make an even adjustment
there ought to be pension from fund
thus obtained for old maids. How to
render this suggestion practicable is left
for wiser heads, as few women, at any
age, are willing to admit that they could
not marry if they would.

PREPARLNG FOR THE FIGHT.


The Prohibitionists are buckling on
their armor for the now almost inevita-
BILE fight over the prohibition amendment
to the state constitution, and acting on
the principle that everything is fair in
love and war;" they serve fair notice on
nti-Prohibitiopists that every resource
of offense and defense will be utilized in
the prohibition camp for all it is worth.
The opening moves have been shrewd
ones. In the first place the recent meet
ing of the state executive prohibition
committee at Waco was called simulta-
neous with the meeting of the Farmers
Alliance of the state. And DR.. Carroll of
Waco, perhaps the ablest ministerial ad-
vocate of prohibition in the state, chose
the same occasion for the delivery of his
great prohibition lecture, designed to re-
fute the "personal liberty" feature which
Coke and Mills used so effectively in the
Central Texas prohibition contests in 1885.
The State Alliance, as we have been told,
adjourned and went in body to hear the
eloquent preacher, who thus, in effect,
had the rural voters of the state as his
auditors, for nearly every county, and es-
pecially those where the white vote is the
largest, was represented in the Alliance.
1t was sowing seed in season, putting q
lump OF lesven in the dough betimes, for
it is well to bear in mind that it is to the
rural vote the Prohibitionists look for
their chief strength. Many ofthe farmers
who listened to DR.. Carroll will undoubt-
edly go home missionaries to labor in
local fields for the prohibition cause.
Again, at the same meeting of the execu-
tive committee, the ProhibitionistS
opened the door to the colored brother
and babe him welcome as q co-lsborer.
They put him on committees and told
him to go forth and organize the colored
vote. These are the opening echoes of
the coming contest, and they indicate
thst so far as the Prohibitionists are con-
cerned they are going to wage
it in earnest. By the opening of
summer the prohibition army will be Or
ganized all over Texas, and the signs are
that if the amendment is submitted (and
it ought to be- we shall witness the most
exciting contest known in Texas in many
years. 1t is indeed not palatable pros
pect, for much bitterness must undoubt-
eddy be evoked, but the struggle cannot,
at best, be postponed much longer and it
is as well to have it settled this year as
later. THE GAZETTE is not disturbed
about the outcome, but as chronicler OF
current events records the signs that de-
note the activity In Prohibition ranks.
Those who do not look with favor upon
sumptuary laws are warned in time to be
up and doing in behalf of their views.

1t WOULD be aposltive benefit to Texas
If the school lands could be classified,
but THE GAZETTE seriously questions
the possibility of a correct classification.
1t is big job and the tendency would
be, under any plan, to accept the state
ments of men supposed to know. Actual
test is the only way to demonstrate the
adaptability of lands, and the poor men
who would seek homes on the frontier, il
induced to do go by a low price and
favorable terms, could make the classif.
cation with more correctness than any

On SUNDAY last there died at Worcester,
Mass, a woman noted for her sustained
advocacy of the three great reform meas
ures of the nineteenth century. Abby
Kelly Foster, Quakeress, was prominent
in tine iuitiatory steps for the abolition Of
slavery, for temperance and for womsn
suffrage, and she died at the age OF
seventy-six. However minds nay differ
as to the correctness of her views on
these subjects, none will hesitate to
award to her that need of praise which
the world grants to honesty of conviction
emphasized by continued effort on the
part of the believer to carry out the
principles advocated. To have the cour-
age of ones convictions is no common

THE almanacs IN their notes of warning
do not say "look out for bargains during
this month" But the average woman
needs no such caution, she is on the look
out, for nothing SO convinces her of her
cleverness as the ability manifested by
her in being able to buy things at much
less than their value. Msny fair Fort
Worthite is grieved over the wind and
dust which deprives her of her January
diversion, searching for bargains.

Walsh will no doubt reflect that it is not
